Its a 2001 model with 120k miles.
Very dirty, as you can see from the wheel shot.
It had VA inspection (sticker in the middle of the windshield) but now has NJ.
Im assuming its been around these parts since '00.

I wanted to take the rubber strips off, but then again i dont think the customer would've liked that.

i hate those strips
wat purpose do they serve?

[starchland]

prevents the paint from getting chipped from rocks and stuff

[verothacamaro]

hmmmm as long as there is oxygen in the atmosphere, we'll not escape from rust.

salt doesn't help either

errr it does more harm than good IMO

[Gyuri87]

Winte is not necessarily the problem. Owners are though. Some people just don't care as much about their car or maybe they do but have very little or know maintenance knowledge at all. I don't think they go checking under the car or quarter panels ever.

[Night Wolf]

damn, did you tell the owner about it?

btw Im glad my CB9 has never touched snow

its not the snow that fucks it up.....well that much....its the salt they put down ontop of the snow that really fucks shit up

[deevergote]

Salt is what usually does it. The NorthEast is HORRIBLE with that. We pre-salt the streets now when we expect snow!


It's not a Honda problem. It's a salt problem. Those rubber strips are a major player in it, though.

[blizzard335]

ermm..

what rubber strips? I dont see any strips

[cp[mike]]

my suspension is already rusty and its like... a few months old

i see post-2000 hondas rusted all the time up here.

very discouraging ...
